In 2006, the Kunsthaus Zürich showed the exhibition “The Expanded Eye. Stalking the Unseen”. Curated by Bice Curiger, the show took a look at “the ever-widening horizons of the human eye in the age of its physiologically and technologically extended faculties”. The exhibition included renowned works by Op Artist Bridget Riley, the Surrealist Salvador Dalí­ and video artist Nam June Paik. Highlights were the reconstruction of spaces from the 1960s by artists such as Bridget Riley, Gianni Colombo, François Morellet, and Julio Le Parc, and a substantial program of films.
